Trogilium

TROGI´LIUM (Τρωγίλιον), a promontory formed by the western termination of Mount Mycale, opposite the island of Samos. Close to this promontory there was an island bearing the same name. (Strab. 14. p. 636; Steph. B. s. v. Τρώγιλος, according to whom it was also called Trogilia; Act. Apost. 20.15, where its name is Trogyllion.) Pliny (Plin. Nat. 5.31. s. 37) speaks of three islands being called Trogiliae, their separate names being Philion, Argennon, and Sandalion.

TROGI´LIUM a town of Lusitania, according to Luitprand (Adversaria, § 30, ap. Wessel. ad Itin. p. 438), the same place which Pliny (Plin. Nat. 4.35) calls Castra Julia. It is incontestably the Turcalion of the Geogr. Rav. (4.35) and the modern Truxillo. (Cf. Florez, Esp. Sagr. 13. p. 114, and Ukert, ii. pt. 1. p. 395.)
